Model Reviewed: 3262 Medium Ball Head Summary: I have Model 3262QR. I use it with a Bogen 3001LC tripod. I used this combination for over 700 photographs in 9 days on a recent trip. I love the quick release! It's true that when you lock it down it has a slight shift. However this shift is predictable. I found that if I always kept the locking lever to the left, when I would lock it the camera would always slightly shift to the right and down. I was using a 28 to 80 zoom lens, if I was using a longer lens, in the 200 to 300 range, I can see where it would be a little harder to adjust. You must always hold the camera when releasing the locking lever, or it will flop down. The bottom line is this is a inexpensive, solid QR ball head that you may have to adjust 2 or 3 times to get perfect framing. Considering the price this is a great value. I would buy it again. Strengths: inexpensive for a quick release ball head, locks down solid Weaknesses: when you lock it down it has a slight shift Similar Products Used: tried different brands and models in store Customer Service: unknown, doesen't look like I will ever need it
